Smartlipo vs. CoolSculpting for a Double Chin

A double chin or submental fat is a major aesthetic concern among both men and women and one that is usually difficult to address with just diet and exercise. Performed using the latest technologies, double chin liposuction in NYC removes fat beneath the chin and tightens the skin to result in a more well-defined jaw line. However, prospective candidates are often confused as which technology would provide the best outcomes. For instance, take this question posted on the RealSelf platform shows: “I have a double chin and I’m not sure if I should do the laser lipo or cool sculpting”. The 20-year old also wanted to know how many sessions would be needed to address the concern.

An expert surgeon replied that Smartlipo laser liposuction and CoolSculpting are not comparable. CoolSculpting is a non-invasive technology that removes unwanted chin fat by freezing it, but it would take almost three months for the results to appear. CoolSculpting is a good option for those who are close to their ideal weight but want to reduce small, localized trouble spots. This treatment uses a specialized cryolipolysis device to destroy unwanted fat cells by freezing them, without affecting surrounding tissues. Once the fat cells die, they are flushed out from the body overtime. The final result is seen after three months.

Smartlipo uses laser energy delivered via a minimally invasive cannula to precisely target and melt the excess fat so that it can be easily suctioned off. It allows the surgeon to sculpt a slimmer body contour. Liposuction is particularly effective at removing fat in the legs, abdomen, back, arms, face, and neck. It provides more dramatic results than noninvasive fat reduction procedures. Chin liposuction in NYC using Smartlipo would take just 10 days to show results. According to the expert surgeon, laser lipo is the ideal option if you are in a hurry and want instant results.

Double chin liposuction using Smartlipo comes with many advantages:

Use of local anesthesia

Tiny incisions, no severe complications or risks

Dramatic skin tightening effects

Minimal bleeding and trauma to the tissues

Less pain or discomfort
